This piece is part of a series of large-scale, layered, hand cut relief sculptures that I have been working on for the past four years. It is by far the most complex sculpture I have made and took five months of intensive labour to complete. I think it should be considered for the competition because it is a highly unusual and original hybrid of sculpture, design and craft. The beauty of this work was hard won, a key factor for me in my ongoing examination of the relationship between the contemporary artist and nature.
